ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[AndrewL1950]

Got a question for more experience OC'ers. I really want to know the in's and outs of the bios.

What exactly does C1E, and CPU C3 report etc.. do? When I disable them, my clock stays the same and is not downclocked. Even with speestep enabled. I was wondering what each of their functions was and if it's save to leave all the CPu CX reports and C1E turned off permanently?

I don't think there is any reason to disable them honestly, unless you are trying for 6 ghz or something, and even then I can't say they'd matter. They don't seem to be hindering overclocks this time around and I'd leave them on for 24/7.

Here's a SUPER in depth article on them, if you are so inclined:

Not that it matters too much, but this post is from me. I do indeed have this board and a 2600k so I wanted you to know I'm not just randomly posting things. Totally didn't realize I had two accounts.

Thanks, I appreciate the article.

I am having a massive issue with the board though. Everytime I turn my computer off, then on again in the morning, it simply will not boot. Keep in mind, I am not overclocking at all, and have Turbo mode turned off. The only way to get the computer to boot into windows is by turning off the PSU, opening it up, removing the power switch connecter, turning the PSU on, reconnecting the power switch, then powering the computer on again.

It then takes me to an Asus screen about having a failed overclock, and to hit F1 to go into setup. Which makes no sense at all since I have not even attempted to overclock.

Once in setup I simply exit and it finally boots into windows.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? This is the second day it has done this.

Try setting the volts to stock manually (around 1.25-1.26) on the CPU, and set the RAM voltage manually + the timings & speed. On a side note, Turbo mode should be left on, it's free (stock) performance as well .
